110 Vendors Working to Secure Containers From Modern Threats
Security is top of mind in nearly every sector of technology today, and that includes containers. One of the early promises of containers is that they offer a more agile method of application deployment, with multiple native security capabilities inherited from Linux. The native security features of containers, however, might not be enough to stop all modern threats, which is why a number of vendors are offering different types of container security services. Among the vendors is container market leader Docker Inc., which has several open-source efforts that aim to advance security. Rival container vendor CoreOS is also active in the security space with its Clair vulnerability static analysis tool for containers. In this slide show, eWEEK takes a look at 10 vendors that are providing container security technology and services.
